Description

A close view of a rough, pitted rock face running down the left side of the frame, with a deep dark opening to the right that appears to lead into a tomb chamber. The ground in front is covered with loose soil and small stones, and the top of the frame shows the cut edge of the rock above. No people or scale are visible, and no clear stones are visible inside the opening.
